Neighbor Idaman.

Fourteen

The barbeque event to celebrate Rallin's move was quite exciting, at least that's what Rallin felt. Reiner looks cool now with a hello kitty-patterned apron wrapped around his waist. His flaming red hair seemed to sparkle in the light of the light. Both of his hands deftly flipped the beef as well as some vegetables that were almost ripe with Xavier who occasionally plucked without asking permission first.

Rallin was astonished, why Reiner who was like a walking refrigerator could quickly get familiar with Xavier who was in fact typical of jolly men.

Elsewhere, Naveen was sitting casually on an old bench that was already available in his backyard, it seems like the bench had existed long before Rallin moved. Naveen's long fingers seemed agile picking the guitar strings that the man had brought from home.

A smile rose on Rallin's lips as her legs decided to approach the man and sit beside him.

"You're good at playing it." Rallin looked up, looking at the thousands of faintly visible stars above. Light pollution makes the view of the night sky not clearly visible.

"really?" Naveen glanced at Rallin at a glance and joined his head up. "Well, I only play it when I'm bored or stressed."

"So? Which one?"

"What?" naveen was confused.

"You're playing your guitar" Rallin said, pointing at the guitar in Naveen's lap with his chin. "Are you feeling one of them now?"

Naveen seemed to think for a few seconds then shrugged his shoulders. "Eitherway. But I think I'm fine."

Rallin nodded in understanding as Naveen kept his guitar on the side of the body. No conversation happened after that. The second view now focuses on Xavier and Reiner who seem to get along in the roasting place there. It looks Reiner who is now hitting Xavier's hand with a meat clamp for daring to take the beef that has been cooked.

Rallin returned to smile. He feels grateful. At least, Reiner the refrigerator runs now like a human in general. Can blend even joke with someone other than himself.

"Hey, Rallin," call Naveen to break the silence. "May I ask you something?" Rallin immediately shifted his focus to Naveen and nodded afterwards. "When have you known Regis?"

"I knew him in college" Rallin said with a bright look. He slightly tightened the jacket he was wearing when the night air felt piercing the skin. "We were a University when in Canada" he continued with mild rarity. "If you? "

Naveen was a little dislikeful when he learned that Regis was the one who knew Rallin first. He felt a little regret because he had refused to invite his noisy friends to continue their study to Canada. But yeah, how else. After all, in the end he still met with Rallin as well, as his neighbor.

"I knew him in High School, he was the noisiest man I've ever known."

"You're right" said Rallin. "But he's a good man."

Naveen's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard Rallin's words. But the man nodded half willingly. Regis's attitude that is too active makes it easy to make friends with anyone. Naveen recalled, Regis had even spoken casually with someone he was completely unfamiliar with. One of the impossible things for Naveen to do, even though a few weeks ago he had just done the impossible. So Naveen is not surprised if Regis can be friends with anyone the man met, including Rallin.

"But Nav, if I see, you're pretty familiar."

"I wonder why I can even be friends with such a stupid and noisy man as Regis." Naveen grimaces, re-imagining his friendship with Regis that has been established for a long time. "But, well, even though it sucks, maybe only Regis is the one who understands me the most after my family."

Naveen immediately picked up the phone when his pants pocket felt vibrating. He snorted, revealing the name of the person on his phone screen to Rallin.

"Look, we just talked about it, and that idiot called me." Rallin laughed as Naveen's countenance turned sour. "Should I ignore it?"

"You just pick it up, who knows it's an important call."

Like a spell spoken by a witch, Naveen immediately obeyed what Rallin said and immediately shifted the green emblem contained on the screen of his phone.

"Hal—"

"Naaaaav, I'm in front of Rallin's house! Come quickly and open the door for me! "

Naveen immediately kept his phone away from his ear before he turned deaf. The shrill voice from Regis made him have to let out some curses on the fox descendant's man.

"Br*ngs! You made my eardrum almost break, si*l*n!" Naveen could hear Regis's booming laughter there as if very happy with the frustration he was feeling.

"Hurry, Naaav. My stomach is rumbling!"

Before his eardrum was completely damaged, Naveen immediately severed his call unilaterally. He looked at Rallin who was still watching him with raised eyebrows and amused expression.

"The fool's outside" Naveen explained, putting his phone back in his pants pocket.

"I can't believe he's really gonna be here."

"She has a lot of free time, so where might not come." Naveen shrugged both shoulders, immediately walking towards the house to open the door with the tailing Rallin.

The arrival of guests who were not invited by Reiner but invited directly by the homeowner made the atmosphere of the night became more crowded. Reiner immediately released the apron that was twisting his plate and handed the meat clamp to the bewildered Rallin.

"I want to see that fool first" Reiner explained. Even though they lived in the same city, Reiner had not met the fox-descended humans for a long time. "You just need to flip it over," the red-browed man added as he looked at the face of his twin brother's weld.

"OK," said Rallin. His hand immediately stamped the flesh that was on top of the burning with a stiff movement. "Like this?"

Reiner gave a thumbs up for Rallin. "You can get Xavier to help you if you're having trouble, he's good at cooking."

"Blog*n! You're taunting me?"

Sasori snorted and then shook his head. "All I remember is, the last time you tried to cook a meal, you almost burned down my kitchen."

The ringing slowly sounded as Rallin recalled the incident a few weeks ago when he took the initiative to make something for breakfast. His intention was to slightly reduce Reiner's burden, but instead caused an unusually severe chaos because of what his twin brother said, like, the kitchen of the house they occupied almost burned down when he accidentally put a cloth near the stove that was still burning and ended up with him being taken care of by Reiner.

"Okay, if it's just grilling this, I don't think I'm gonna burn my house down."

"Goodoo. I don't want to spend my money just to renovate your house."

"Blog*n!" rallin spoke slowly which invited Reiner's hardness.

Reiner immediately left Rallin before anything within the girl's reach was thrown at him and ended up injuring one of his beautiful body parts. A pair of brown beads looked at Regis and the man he knew named Naveen was chatting with a serious face, no matter what they were talking about. Reiner didn't know and didn't intend to find out.

"Hey, Yellow." Reiner immediately secured himself beside Regis after previously hitting the man's shoulder hard enough. "I didn't think you knew Rallin was moving house."

"Know what?" Regis squinted with squinting eyes, rubbing his hot shoulder from Reiner's brazen punch. "I found out because I accidentally met the two of them at a shopping mall" he continued, pointing to Naveen who was still sitting quietly.

"Well, it's just a coincidence" Naveen replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"Stay, Nav, if I hadn't met you there, now I wouldn't be here" Regis said. " Maybe now I'm at Aya—'s house"

Naveen immediately hit Regis' thigh hard before his detergent mouth pulled out the foam. Reiner who noticed the two just raised an eyebrow then sighed and shrugged his shoulders, not intending to even look for what they were talking about.

"You know? Rallin's really draining my money if he's left to do his own shopping." This time Reiner spoke. Issuing his unkempt will the behavior of the brother who is always crazy when it comes to spending money.

"You are rich!" Regis then laughed, looking very satisfied when he found the annoyed expression Reiner showed. "You can even buy that shopping place with the money you have."

Reiner's face frowned as his arms crossed in front of his chest. Although what Regis said is true, but he still does not like women who have a hobby of squandering money, even though it is his own brother. Reiner only hopes that one day Rallin's childish attitude and hobby that is very happy to spend millions in his account changes. Thank goodness if the girl can find a life companion who can guide her back to the right path—saving.

"By the way, what's your busy life now?" Reiner asked again after he took out a box of cigarettes from his jacket pocket and put it on the table. He rarely smoked, but Regis was a fairly active smoker. To the chicken man sitting next to the noisy man, I don't know Reiner.

"I? Of course I'm a successful lawyer, Brother!"

"Baj*ng*n crazy!" hiss Reiner started lighting one cigarette and sipping it slowly. Understand that the word lawyer said Regis is unemployment many events.

Regis laughed again. From a long time ago, he had always been happy to upset Reiner. When they were in Canada, he and Rallin even planned crazy things. Regis tells Reiner that Rallin had an accident and is being operated on at one of the hospitals in the city. Reiner, who had a tremendous panic, immediately went to the hospital that Regis mentioned by wearing pajamas with a picture of one of the anime characters complete with bunny-shaped sandals. Gosh darn.

"God! Looks like the kid's starting to act again." Reiner immediately got up from the chair when he saw Rallin who was now busy with his grill while screaming in panic. I don't know what happened there, but Xavier who was with Rallin disappeared somewhere.

Naveen, who was also panicking, was about to leave after Reiner. But Regis's hand checks on his arm make him have to undo his intentions while taking a super long breath.

"Nav, shouldn't we continue our delayed conversation?"

Goddamnit! Really fucking! If Regis had spoken in such a cold tone, it meant that the conversation they were having was a very serious one.
